Real Madrid – Espanyol. Forecast and announcement for the match of the Spanish championship

On September 21, the match of the 6th round of Primera will be held at the Santiago Bernabeu, in which “Real Madrid” will meet with “Espanyol”. The match will start at 22:00 Kyiv time.

Real Madrid (Madrid)

The team showed its class last season. And at the national level, where they first won the Super Cup, and then the Premier League, and at the international level – they ended the campaign with another victory in the Champions League. This marked the end of Kroos’ career as a whole (before that he played for the national team at the home Euro), Josela and Nacho (went to the Middle East). But Florentino Perez did not strengthen the defense and the center of the field, but in such a strong attack they signed Mbappe and Endrik. As a result, the Galacticos mostly win, including in the UEFA Super Cup (2:0 against Atalanta with Kylian’s debut goal), but there were enough draws, literally on equal footing, away to Mallorca and Las Palmas. And with Real Sociedad, the opponent’s poor implementation of opportunities and a pair of penalties in the second half helped them win. Starting a new cycle of the Champions League with Stugart, the owners of Ushastoy could also lose points – they won in the last quarter of an hour of playing time.

Español

The club was once again able to return to the Premier League. Only not directly: in the last cycle of the Segunda, one of the favorites finished only fourth, but confirmed his class through the playoffs. And, most importantly, the parrots have already shown that they do not look superfluous at the old-new level. Yes, they started with defeats, 0:1 each, not only against Real Sociedad, but also against their promoted colleague, Valladolid. But then Atlético was first put on the bandwagon, holding out for a 0:0 draw in Madrid. And then they beat Rayo Vallecano 2-1 at home, lifting the mood before the break for national team games. After the resumption of play, Alaves added three more important points, winning a spectacular match 3:2.

Statistics of personal meetings

Seven of the last eight face-to-face matches, including three times in a row, were won by the cream team.

Forecast

Bookmakers do not doubt the victory of the champion. But his condition is not optimal, and the guests will clearly go into a deaf defense. We bet on a total of less than 3.5 goals (coefficient – 1.84).
